hey, raspberry flavoured project lead here - tysm for the shout :)
this was a great watch, and personally i feel as though the most important takeaway from all this is that even with something like etho's trademark von sway building style, it's not at all required to enjoy your time in a world, nor is anything else in particular - the reason why i decided to make drastic changes such as removing the end and villages in raspberry flavoured is to remove that inherent feeling of being railroaded a certain way in the game, since as easy as it may seem to simply say "if you don't like these things, don't use them" that won't take away from our natural urge to play with these features that can certainly cut down on some of the grind, but at the cost of removing a lot of the fun and personal connection a world that comes from said grind
with those types of distractions out of the way, minecraft very quickly starts to give off very similar vibes to how everyone felt about the beta versions of the game, without sacrificing all the great QoL features and other fun additions that are a part of modern versions
big tangent aside, i massively admire that you've found your own ways to enjoy the game, and i hope you'll inspire many others to do the same and realise that the game is still just as wonderful, if not even more than it's ever been
tl;dr: good video big enjoy :)

this is a really great video
perfectionism... really is often the thief of joy, eh?
i've occasionally pondered what it'd be like to just throw it to the side and do a "von sway" approach to building, like... having some house with friends where we try to just keep adding to it more and more without concern of asking each other about what we're doing, or about it looking nice. but ive never quite done it
i think its a really fun way to do things, and maybe could very well apply to like. script writing or something! just writing a version you think is a little "stupid" or unorganized... and then trying to polish it up a bit. it certainly gets more done than being frozen in place, worrying about where to even start..
i think this is a video every minecraft player experiencing creative burnout should see.
I'll end my comment with a story:
one time, i was cleaning my minecraft server list. i noticed a server that i had played on before (hosted by one of my friends) had changed. for a while now, it was a world played by another friend group, who i know almost no one from. i hopped on, out of curiosity. no one else was online, but... it was such a special feeling, as i immediately saw a world that felt, as you'd call it, "von sway" in style. there was a giant glass tube with cubes of coral blocks inside of it. a nether portal inside of a big tree. a long minecart track across the ocean shore. nothing felt Perfect, but in a way it felt human in a way like no other minecraft world i had recently been a part of. seeing the human element of whimsy, joy, and limitless, pointless fun... almost brought a tear to my eye. i walked around a bit, and... even though no one was online, i typed some compliments into chat. just about how much i loved what they had made. and then i hopped off. I think that's when i started vaguely thinking about "building without clear intent" to have fun with minecraft again, but. ive kinda forgotten about that until seeing this video
so thank you for sharing your story. it is much appreciated
